At lunch, the writer used the tableside tag-to-order system to try rubber-duck omurice, gochujang butter pasta and buckwheat soba maki, plus a self-service bar with a charger and water station. The gochujang butter pasta was spicy and rich in a way that suited Korean tastes, and the baby chair made it a good pick for a family meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: 35 Daemyeong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 2nd floor (about 5 min walk from Hyehwa Station Exit 4) - **Hours**: 11:30-21:15 - **Note**: Baby chair available - **How to order**: Tag your phone on the TagHere device at the table to order; pay at the counter on your way out - **Self-service bar**: Charger, wet wipes, tissues, pickles, water station - **Order that day**: 2 mains + 1 side + 1 Coke Zero - **Review event**: Free ade with a Naver receipt review or Google review (1 per person) *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Main image of Hyehwa pasta restaurant Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-daehangno-lunch-visit/omeal-hyehwa-daehangno-lunch-visit-01-naje8-1200.webp) *Hyehwa pasta restaurant* Today I want to tell you about Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, where I had lunch after hanging out in Hyehwa!

It had just the right amount of heat, so it wasn't greasy, but it also wasn't too spicy or overpowering, so I kept eating. ![Close-up bite of gochujang butter pasta with sauce coating the noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-daehangno-lunch-visit/omeal-hyehwa-daehangno-lunch-visit-22-fifr2-900.webp) *A bite of gochujang butter pasta* Being gochujang-based, this pasta really hit the spot for Korean taste buds, it was so good haha. The thick, rich sauce coated the noodles well, and eating it with the meat on top made it filling too 🤍 ## Buckwheat soba maki (buckwheat gimbap) with wasabi ![Buckwheat soba maki with egg, cucumber and fried tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-daehangno-lunch-visit/omeal-hyehwa-daehangno-lunch-visit-23-16hz1-900.webp) *Buckwheat soba maki (buckwheat gimbap)* The buckwheat gimbap (seaweed rice roll) was a combination that worked better than I expected. Inside were egg, cucumber, fried tofu and other ingredients, so each bite had a different texture! ![A piece of buckwheat gimbap topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-daehangno-lunch-visit/omeal-hyehwa-daehangno-lunch-visit-24-sh8qg-900.webp) *Buckwheat gimbap with wasabi* And the wasabi served alongside was totally the kicker..🌿 The light flavor of the buckwheat gimbap combined with the sharp kick of the wasabi made it so much cleaner and more delicious!
